The Clothesline Project came Monday to Broadway in Newburgh in observance of Domestic Violence Month. The national Clothesline Project began in 1990 when women affected by violence expressed their emotions by drawing on T-shirts, which were hung up to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
